Glad to be Back in the Old Girl

Recommended Posts

After the high of getting a top 10 rosette at Japfest last April the clutch let go on a track session which sent me on a nightmare journey home on a tow truck.

She has been resting in my garage since.

The wait for parts from America and Australia took many months but finally this weekend we made a trip to the legendary Z shed in Ferndown.

For you that don’t know this is the most amazing man cave owned by Chris Smith AKA Keyser.

His long time Buddy Buster travelled down from Derby to help with the install which was a not a simple job due to my twin plate clutch set up.
 Many thanks Chaps, the old girl lives on.

He bribed me, he brought doughnuts!

 

Nice little Zed Shed reunion we had me @Keyser @Beb @buster and of course the man tht kills clutches himself @andy james

 

Was a fun day but to be fair the credit for the work goes to Buster, I just made him a nice gerabox plug and lots of coffee.

 

Hi to all, I'm still here and still playing in the Zed Shed (no Zed at the moment) just upgraded my milling machine to a full CNC unit that has been idle for 4 years, so changing out all the rotten pipes, wiring etc - If you want some pics let me know - I'm still a terrible photographer though!

 

 

Blast from the past .................

Now that's what you call a man cave😎👌.

I'm always paranoid about my clutch.

Not giving any problems yet but 20 yea6 on the original clutch and 93k miles is not confidence inspiring 🤣

 

Glad to see your zed back in good health.

Hope to see you all again at Japfest in a couple months 👍
